Golden Box
The crystal ball floated at the bottom of the pool, and there was a red barrier opposite it.
Chi Chi!
Ning Yue separated a bit of his Soul Power and gradually approached the red barrier.
However, when his Soul Power came into contact with the red barrier, a sizzling sound was heard.
Hearing this sizzling sound, Ning Yue's expression turned grave.
The sizzling sound was the sound of his Soul Power being devoured.
"The red barrier can devour Soul Power. Could it be the array that Wei Zongtian mentioned?"
Ning Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wei Zongtian had said that there was a special array at the bottom of the real Martial Fountain. As long as he broke the array, he would see a box.
And that box could only be picked up by the Heaven Devouring Dog. At that time, Wei Zongtian had specially pointed it out to the Dark Emperor.
"It shouldn't be."
Very quickly, Ning Yue rejected the idea in his heart.
If the red barrier was the array that Wei Zongtian mentioned, then it meant that this was the real Martial Fountain!
The density of Essence at the bottom of the pool was the same as above. Clearly, this was not the real Martial Fountain.
"It can devour Soul Power. Let me try attacking with Essence!"
Ning Yue was not someone who was inflexible. Since the red barrier could devour Soul Power, he would try using Essence.
Swish!
In the next instant, Ning Yue wrapped his Primordial Qi around his wrist and punched out.
In an instant, a nearly solid fist light blasted at the barrier at an astonishing speed. Chi Chi!
Chi Chi!
When the fist light came into contact with the red barrier, it was devoured just like the Soul Power from before.
With both Essence and Soul Power devoured, Ning Yue was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this red barrier? It can actually devour Essence and Soul Power!
Swish!
Just as Ning Yue was at a loss, the crystal ball was activated again and rushed at the red barrier.
"The barrier can devour Essence and Soul Power. I don't believe... what!"
Seeing the crystal ball rushing toward the red barrier, Ning Yue's eyes were filled with disbelief before he could finish his sentence.
Crack!
The crystal ball seemed to be able to restrain the red barrier. As soon as it came into contact with the red barrier, a gap was blasted open.
Moreover, the crystal ball floated on the other side of the red barrier and did not move forward.
"Waiting … for me?" Seeing the actions of the crystal ball, Ning Yue pointed at his own nose and asked doubtfully.
Inside the barrier, the crystal ball moved up and down like a human, as if it was nodding.
"What the hell, even the crystal ball has become a spirit."
Although that was what he said, Ning Yue did not stay in place. Instead, he instantly sped up and arrived at the gap in the barrier.
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yue gritted his teeth and entered the barrier.
Ka ka!
As soon as Ning Yue entered the barrier, the barrier closed again and returned to its original state.
At the same time, in a certain room in the Ice Mansion, Ouyang Ba raised his eyebrows as a confused look appeared on his face.
After some thought, he took out a ball made of a special material.
The ball was around the size of a fist, with an obvious crack on its surface.
"Hehe, Ning Yue has started to crack the formation. At this rate, in less than a day and a night, he'll be able to … hmm?"
The crack on the ball caused Ouyang Ba to let out an unrestrained smile.
However, before he could finish laughing, his expression changed slightly.
It was because he realized that the crack on the ball had disappeared!
"The crack disappeared? Could it be that Ning Yue failed to crack the formation?" Ouyang Ba frowned as a confused look appeared on his face.
The ball was specially made, and it was related to the red barrier.
As long as the red barrier was broken, the ball would shatter completely.
The crack just now meant that there was a gap in the red barrier. However, the disappearance of the crack meant that the red barrier had returned to its original state.
"This doesn't make sense. It's just an external formation. There's no reason why Ning Yue couldn't crack it."
Ouyang Ba frowned slightly and mumbled, "The red barrier is only a formation that separates the real Martial Pool from the Ice Mansion's Martial Pool. With Ning Yue's strength, it's not difficult for him to crack it."
"Could it be that something went wrong?"
It was no wonder that Ouyang Ba was confused.
The barrier at the bottom of the pool was personally set up by the ancestor of the Imperial Family. All he needed to do was to break it with a powerful attack. Why couldn't Ning Yue do it?
"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. Maybe Ning Yue is cultivating again." After pondering for a while, Ouyang Ba sat on the chair and closed his eyes.
In fact, there was one thing that Ouyang Ba was unaware of. Compared to the time when the ancestor of the Imperial Family had set up the barrier, the barrier had undergone a tremendous change.
Now, not only could the barrier devour Yuan Qi, it could also devour Soul Force!
"Ning Yue, this is the real Martial Pool."
Ning Yue had no idea of Ouyang Ba's doubts, as he was shocked by the scene before him.
As soon as he entered the red barrier, the crystal ball transformed into the illusionary cultivator in front of him.
Ning Yue was familiar with the illusionary cultivator, who was none other than the first headmaster of Danwu College, Wei Zongtian!
Wei Zongtian let out a smile and said, "This is only a projection of me. You don't have to be so surprised."
"I can only exist for three minutes. I'll make it short."
Wei Zongtian continued, "Outside the red barrier is the pool of the Imperial Family. This is the real Martial Pool!"
"The real Martial Pool?" Ning Yue was startled, as he unleashed his Divine Sense.
A moment later, Ning Yue withdrew his Divine Sense.
It was true that the Yuan Qi here was a lot denser than the one outside the barrier.
"The red barrier was set up by the ancestor of the Imperial Family to separate the real Martial Pool from the Imperial Family's pool." Wei Zongtian said.
"Why is the red barrier able to devour Yuan Qi and Soul Force?" Ning Yue asked in a confused tone.
If the red barrier was only used to separate the two pools, there was no need to set up a barrier that could devour Yuan Qi and Soul Force. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?
"The reason why the barrier can devour Yuan Qi and Soul Force is because of it!"
As he spoke, Wei Zongtian's eyes turned cold. He raised his palm and pointed to the ground in the distance.
Looking in the direction of Wei Zongtian's palm, Ning Yue was a little dumbfounded. This was because all he could see was the ground at the bottom of the Martial Pool. There was nothing else.
"Reveal!"
At this moment, Wei Zongtian bellowed, and a cold beam of light shot out from his sleeve.
The cold beam advanced for a distance before disappearing.
Buzz!
The moment the cold beam disappeared, a palm-sized box appeared where it had been.
The box was golden in color, and there were a total of six keyholes on its six sides.
"This is the box I told you about in the past. Only the Heaven Devouring Dog can lift it." Wei Zongtian pointed to the golden box that had appeared on the ground, and his eyes revealed a fervent look.
"Didn't you say that there is an array formation at the bottom of the Martial Pool?" Ning Yue asked.
"Of course there is an array formation."
